Hi all,

Is anyone familiar with any schools that have a strong focus on corporate social responsibility? I know that ESADE placed fairly well in the Aspen Institute's "Beyond Grey Pinstripes" MBA rankings, is anyone familiar with their MBA program and how they incorporate CSR into the MBA?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ganesh

Columbia Business School (CBS), Columbia University
Duke University Fuqua School of Business
London Business School (LBS)
Presidio School of Management
University of Michigan - Ross School of Business
Yale School of Management (Yale SOM)
University of California, Berkeley - Haas School of Business
George Washington University - GW School of Business
Harvard Business School (HBS)
NYU Stern School of Business, New York University
Nottingham University Business School
ESADE Business School
RSM Erasmus University (Rotterdam School of Management)
University of Oxford - Saïd Business School

Thanks for the reply. Does anyone have any info on how these programs include CSR into their programs? classes, seminars/conferences?

Some of these schools will have individual courses/modules on CSR. Other schools with have separate centres (Berkeley or Duke, for example) for CSR, which suggests more faculty and events foucsed on it. I think Esade is a Jesuit university, which might explain some of their traditional "social" concern.
